The project consisted of raising two separate bridge overpasses along the I-385 corridor in Fountain Inn and Greenville. The first bridge had to be completed before starting on the second bridge. All work was completed in a timely manner and under budget. Strong back beams were engineered by Cape Romain Engineers for the lifting of each span of 50’ weighing approximately 126 tons. Hydraulic jacks were used to lift each end of the span in a smooth and level state until the proper height was achieved. At this point the pre-fabricated pedestals were set in place and the span was lowered into its final resting place. Dowels were drilled and grouted, reinforcing steel was tied in place, forms set and concrete poured. This operation was repeated four times each for each of the two bridge structures.
